Mixing Black and White effects and color to one picture in iPhoto

is there any way to combine these to effects to have part of a picture black and white and another part color?

No, not with iPhoto. You'll need a 3rd party application like Photoshop Elements which can select areas in a photo and desaturate it, leaving the rest in color like this. This is another example of what you can do with it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to get black and white effect in photos

    Hi There,
    I have always wondered how people get to add black and white effect in a photograph. Anyone with tips and/or videos to show how this is done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Start with a raw image for detail, you can adjust anything here especially shadow and highlight detail, the second button). You can then use the adjustment layer of black & white. Start with auto, but how pull the sliders around is different for each phot. If you still want to enhance certain areas I suggest color balance (under the black and white) for shad, mids, highlights.

  • Hi, I'd like to put a black and white effect on my colour footage which will look really sharp but which also looks bright so the whites look bright and the blacks look very dark . Any tips of which best effects to use to achieve this look in Prem Pro. Th

    Under the Effects-Lumetri Looks-Desaturation choose a B and W effect. Then add the luma corrector from the Video effects-colour correction section. Adjust the brightness and contrast to get the effect you want.

  • Make Black and White PDF from Color JPGs

    I don't have a scanner and use my digital camera to make 2-3 page document PDFs occasionally.  I take a picture of a page, crop it in an image editor, and finally drag and drop the jpgs into Acrobat to create a pdf.  The problem is that these docs don't print very well because they are created in color.  Is there an easy way to make them in black and white instead of color?   I don't want greyscale documents, because they don't print very well either.

    Grayscale would be the way to go to retain shadows and tints.
    I'm dealing with text-based documents on colored paper, so shadows and tints are exactly what I don't want.
    Printing a greyscale image on a laser printer produces the same result as printing the original image in full color.
    I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you elaborate a bit?
    I use a non-color laserjet.  Printing a color document with a black and white printer and printing a greyscale document converted from that doc will print the exact same thing, i.e. black text with nasty grey backgrounds.

  • Black and white photo with color added back

    I want to be able to turn a photo black and white, then add color back in, say for instance a ball turned back to red only.  How can I do that in elements 11?  It's driving me crazy!  Help

    You need to duplicate your color photo. 
    1. Open your color photo in PSE11 Full Edit expert tab (A raw photo will open in camera raw so click the open image button too send it to the PSE interface)
    2. On the Top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
    3. On the top menu click Enhance >>Convert to Black & White >>OK
    4. If you can’t see the layers pallet to the right click Window >>Layers
    5. In the layers pallet click add layer mask (the icon with a small circle)
    6. Make sure your foreground color is set to black then select the brush tool
    7. Click the mouse over the area where you wish to reveal color and use like an eraser to reveal the background below
    8. To correct errors switch the foreground color to white, then switch back to black and continue
    9. Save as PSD to preserve your layers and if you wish make a jpeg copy from the PSD file using File >> Save As
    N.B. if your brush is too big or too small you can use the square bracket keys to adjust the size up or down.
    The smart brush tool has black & white options but it does involve making selections which can be more tricky than using the ordinary brush.

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • Is there a way I can export a video in the Black and White effect

    On Universal Access in the System Preferences there is that option to make the whole computer in Negative and when I use that on a video i've made it looks so much cooler but like it only stays like that if it is in black and white effect.
    Is there a way to make a video in the black and white effect even if that isn't on in Universal Access.

    Yeah but that's black and white i'm talking about white on black
    sorry for the confusion i didn't notice that till now.
    I wish it co uld look liek that because the negative I use in imovie looks really bad comapred to the white on black effect.

  • TS1363 I recently updated my iphone overnight and today I can't get it to come on, I've tried the restore and nothing works.  I've tried syncing with 3 different computers and nothing works. I'm getting the black screen, white apple and a line under that

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

  • When i paint either black or white on layer mask it erases picture pixels also path selection tool does not work

    when I paint either in black or white on layer mask it erases picture pixels also path tool does not work

    I would try resetting your preference file first:  http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file
    Also, install the latest version 4.4.1 would probably be a good idea.

  • How do I make image backgrounds black and white while maintaining color in the foreground objects?

    I have a close up close-up image of an orchid with blurred background.  I am trying to make the background black and white while maintaining the foreground color on the petals, buds and stems.  Any ideas?

    Use the Blank & White Brick and either brush the effect onto the background or brush is away from the foreground.  "Detect Edges" will help control the edge of the mask.
    You might be interested in knowing that you can brush on/away masks of different strengths, and thus produce effects in between 0% and 100%.
    Search the forum -- there are several good posts detailing how to create this effect.
    Sample search.

  • Only opens in black and white...color is gone.

    When I place a photo file into my new blank file in photoshop elements 5.0 (I know it's old) it will convert my picture to black and white. How do I get my photoshop to go back to opening my files as they are, in color??? PLEASE HELP!!!???

    Next time you create a new blank file look at the color mode (towards the bottom of the new file window) and make sure that it's set to RGB, too. If the last thing you've copied in another program is text, PSE will start with that setting at grayscale and then everything you put into the file will turn black and white.
